Manuals

The Odyssey ODP-AGM31M is a 12 volt AGM battery from the Performance Marine Series, rated at 1050 CCA and fitted with SAE/marine terminals. The maker lists it as lead acid with AGM-TPPL technology. The case measures 12.9 x 6.8 x 8.9 inches (328 x 173 x 226 mm) and the battery weighs 63 lb (29 kg).

Our take

The ODP-AGM31M is rated at 1050 CCA and weighs 63 lb in a case 12.9 inches long, so check that your tray and hold-down fit that footprint and that you can lift it into place.

From our buying guide

A starting battery delivers a short burst of strong power, a deep-cycle battery a low, steady level for longer, and a dual-purpose battery a balance of the two. Buy for the job it will do.

Check before you buy:

  • You've measured the tray against the maker's real dimensions, since a BCI group gives maximum sizes and some batteries sold as a drop-in run longer.
  • You're comparing the same rating. Cold cranking amps are tested at 0°F and cranking amps at 32°F, so the second number is higher.
  • If it's lithium, the maker says whether it may start an engine, and NMMA advises contacting your boat's manufacturer or a certified technician before replacing lead-acid.
